I could see this as an advertisement for so many things including a public service advertisement to promote local, independently owned bookstores.

Let's all promote independently owned book stores. I challenge you to buy one book from a small bookstore this month. Just one. It's not like I'm asking you to saw through your own arm.

I took my own advice and bought two books at Blue Willow Bookshop yesterday - Divergent and Ashes
ReplyDeleteMy husband is actually excited about Divergent.
The store was small and quaint with a bell attached to the door handle and old wooden floors. The employees were helpful and knowledgable. I actually handed one woman my phone and told her "Here is a list of books on my wish-list. Do you have any of these." She found one and talked to my husband about a second book... which we bought. All in all, it was a great experience, even if we had to drive a little out of our way to get there.
